You're Our Type! YOU Can Make a Difference!
Did you know that many of your blood and platelet donations help patients in our community with breast cancer & other cancers? You can help those patients by making a life-giving donation in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and also help boost the community’s critically low blood supply.
Wear Pink when you donate on Fridays in October in honor of a loved one who has battled breast cancer. Post a pink T-shirt photo on your Instagram page and tag us @communitybloodservices!
